Is this a popular thing to do? Is there any disadvantages?
they are all the same size desktop/laptop ssd's (some are 7mm so they fit into a laptop) but all support sata1/2/3 speeds so will work fine
idk what speeds you motherboard has? you need intel sata3 speed ports to see true rated speeds of the ssd,if sata2 speed ports you'll see roughly half the rated read/write figures

Not sure about the motherboard, it's an asus, 2 years old, it was the best overclocking one they did then. I will find out what it is.
